One last feature before the week ends: capturing buildings. This will be necessary to get good loot, fulfill objectives or even to gain advantages in battle. #indiegame #indiedev #mecha

Testing a basic air support mechanic (W.I.P.). I need to decide if off map support can happen only in the visible area of the Fog of War or everywhere (also I need to polish my debris fx). #indiedev #mechs #gamedev

Mechs now can equip repair arms to make quick fixes during combat. I'm still thinking if combat repairs should affect the need to repair your mechs outside of combat though. #indiedev #mechs #gamedev

I painted the repair arm in Substance Painter and tomorrow I'll see if I can add it to the game. #indiedev

Making an equippable repair arm for the mechs and adding a basic animation for it. This and the "backpack" parts I'll create will allow the player to have support mechs in their squad. #blender #art #indiegame

At least 3 types of legs per class weight could be a good start for the game: bipedal, tetrapods (quads?) and tank tracks. #indiedev #mechs #gamedev

I uploaded a longer clip of the realtime time tactics game with mechs I'm making (with audio) to youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=KbIS-2IF… #indiedev #mechs #gamedev

A frontal assault on this base wasn't such a good idea. #indiedev #mechs #gamedev

They can still be improved but now I have burnable trees because iirc MechCommander had them too and you could even open paths after burning a forest. #indiedev #mechs #gamedev

Another feature that I'm adding to the game: pilots in the UI react to major damage to their mechs (also they can be injured). Later I would like to add animations and fx for ejecting or dying pilots too. #IndieDevs #mechs #gamedev

Here's a test of fire generating heat and causing a mech to overheat and do an emergency venting. My idea is that a venting mech can't fire its weapons until heat goes back to zero but it's still early to decide. #indiedev #mechs #gamedev

I want to have heat mechanics in the game, not just for the mechs but also for some environment objects so here I'm making an early experiment with trees on fire. #indiegamedev #mecha
